TIME BOMB SET

Gaming’s original Escape theme!

In an effort to be funny and not do Kraid’s Lair again, I bring to you this arrangement of Metroid’s Escape theme. Most importantly, I made it a point to include the lost section that can only be found in the US release of Metroid.

No one knows why future official arrangements of this lost section have been dropped, but if I had to wager a guess, it either: 1. didn’t sound anxeity-inducing enough (it has a bit more of an uplifting heroic feel), or 2. it sounded too much like Kid Icarus music (which would make sense as Hirokazu Tanaka composed for both games). There are some parts in the counter melody of that section that sound very similar to KI’s title theme, after all.

But that’s just a theory.

A GaMetal theory!
